What’s going on? Su Xuan is the boss of the company? That means he’s also my boss! This earth-shattering reversal left Guan Lingling completely stunned. She stood rooted to the spot like a wooden post, not moving an inch. The others all gathered around Su Xuan, offering a very warm welcome and completely ignoring her. "Boss, please feel free to go upstairs and look around," Liu Hong said. "I’ve also had your exclusive office prepared." Following that, Liu Hong led Su Xuan toward the DiDi office building. Guan Lingling, seemingly unsure of what to think, followed them upstairs as well. After touring the building, Su Xuan settled into his exclusive office. "Manager Liu, you can go handle your work. I’d like to have a word with Manager Guan." "Manager Guan?" Liu Hong paused. "Oh, you mean Guan Lingling!" He hurriedly stepped out of Su Xuan’s office and said to Guan Lingling, who was standing outside, "Mr. Su is calling for you. Go on in!" Guan Lingling hurried into Su Xuan’s office and stood there like a child who had done something wrong, her eyes cast down submissively. "M-Mr. Su..." Seeing that Su Xuan wasn’t paying her much mind, Guan Lingling spoke up. "I really didn’t know you were the boss of DiDi. I apologize for my behavior in the car!" "Only for your behavior in the car?" Su Xuan asked. Guan Lingling quickly added, "And at our old company, I always... touched your leg. That behavior was shameful and wrong. I’ve realized my mistake, and I’ll definitely change. Please, you have to forgive me!" She was truly afraid that Su Xuan would retaliate, perhaps by kicking her out of DiDi. For him, it would take but a single word. If she was really fired, she would be in trouble. She had already resigned from her former job, and it would be difficult to find another suitable position anytime soon. How would she support her child? Su Xuan sat back in the boss’s chair and glanced up at Guan Lingling. He then closed his eyes, lightly tapping his fingertips on the desk, as if deep in thought or lost in memory. Seeing this, Guan Lingling grew extremely nervous. He must be deciding whether or not to fire me, right? Noticing the tea Liu Hong had just made for Su Xuan on the desk, Guan Lingling hurried to top off his cup, even though it was already full. Several minutes later, Su Xuan suddenly spoke, changing his form of address for her. "I remember back at the old company, you had a photo on your desk. It was a picture of you and your husband. Do you still have it?" Guan Lingling didn’t understand why Su Xuan was asking this, but she opened her handbag, took out a photo, and handed it to him with both hands. "Is this the one you’re talking about?" Su Xuan took the photo and glanced at it before nodding. It was a vacation photo. Guan Lingling and her husband were sitting on a large rock, her hand resting on his leg, and she was smiling blissfully. Su Xuan handed the photo back to Guan Lingling and suddenly asked, "Your husband has passed away, hasn’t he?" "How did you know that?" Guan Lingling’s hands trembled violently as she took the photo. She had never told anyone about this. Su Xuan continued, "I also know your husband was a firefighter. During a rescue mission, he saved five or six people from a fire, but after pulling out the last person, he couldn’t escape himself. Am I right?" At his words, Guan Lingling’s hands shook, and the photograph she had just received from him slipped from her grasp, fluttering to the floor. She immediately crouched down and carefully picked it up. With her finger, she tenderly caressed her husband’s face on the photograph. Su Xuan watched her and spoke softly, "You miss him very, very much, don’t you?" Guan Lingling bit her lip hard. She nodded forcefully and managed a single word, "Yes!" At the same time, large tears streamed from her eyes. She really missed him. She thought of him day and night, every single moment. She would always imagine Su Xuan, whose build resembled her husband’s, as him. That’s why she couldn’t help but place her hand on Su Xuan’s leg, to reminisce, to relive the last warm image her husband had left her. She truly couldn’t control herself, and she truly never wanted to be a frivolous woman. Su Xuan stood before Guan Lingling and, like a kind older brother, he gently patted her head. "The reason I know all this is because you got drunk once after entertaining a client. You told me yourself when I was taking you home. Sister Guan, the departed are gone. Those who live on must learn to let go. Come on, I’ll go with you to do something." With that, Su Xuan walked out of the office. Guan Lingling followed closely behind him. The two of them walked down to a green space below the company building where there was a large rock. Su Xuan sat down on it and waved her over. "Sister Guan, come sit here." Guan Lingling sat down next to Su Xuan in a daze. Su Xuan then gestured to a janitor who was sweeping nearby. "Auntie, could you please take a photo for us?" "Okay!" the woman replied, walking over. "Whose phone should I use?" The source of thɪs content is 𝗇𝗈𝗏𝖾𝗅✦𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾✦𝗇𝖾𝗍 Su Xuan glanced at Guan Lingling’s complex expression and said, "Use yours." "Oh, okay, okay!" Guan Lingling took out her phone and handed it to the janitor. "Sister Guan, your pose is wrong," Su Xuan said with a small smile. "How was your hand placed in the photo?" "I..." Guan Lingling’s lips parted. In the photo, her hand was on her husband’s leg! She stammered, "Can I... really put it there?" "You can," Su Xuan affirmed. Guan Lingling placed her hand on Su Xuan’s leg, just as it was in the picture. "You have to smile like in the photo, too," Su Xuan added. Guan Lingling took a deep breath and managed a smile identical to the one in the original photograph. The janitor took the picture and handed the phone back. Guan Lingling looked at the new photo, which was remarkably similar to the one with her husband. As she stared at it, something inside her heart suddenly snapped, as if some heavy shackle had shattered. Her nose stung, and she threw herself into Su Xuan’s arms, sobbing. "Su Xuan, thank you! I understand your kind intentions now! I can let go, I really can! We’re still alive, and we have today and tomorrow to live well. We can’t always live in the painful memories of yesterday. I get it now, I really do..." Su Xuan gently patted her on the shoulder. "It’s good that you can let go," he murmured. "Letting go will bring you peace. Only by letting go can you grasp the happiness that awaits you in the future..."
